The invention relates to" the 'mann fwture Qf nets, 'and'"especia11y to the manufacture of sirchnets 'as are :nsed tor 'fishin-g :piir- 'pse'sand it ennsiststherein that the threads are united by means of Clamps and preferably 'by nieens of metallic wire clamps. V

The invention further relates to "a qbroce'ss for manufacturing rthese' nets preferably by means of machinery. v V 'Upon :thedrawing in :Figs'. and 2 part "of a' net according to the invention With cross shaped chimps "and elainp in detail are illustrated. w ,7
